(Reuters) – Spains Telefonica SA is in talks to sell its stake in Telecom Italia in a move that could ease regulatory pressure in Brazils wireless market, Brazilian newspaper Folha de S.Paulo reported on Friday. Telefonica is negotiating a deal with investment funds to sell its stake in Telecom Italia, the paper reported, without saying how it obtained the information. Telefonica is left with a nearly 15 percent direct stake in the Italian company after fellow investors voted to dismantle their controlling bloc.
